New York State Route 91 (NY 91) is a north–south state highway in Central New York in the United States. The southern terminus of the route is located at an intersection with NY 13 in the Cortland County town of Truxton. Its northern terminus is located at a junction with NY 173 in the Onondaga County hamlet of Jamesville. In between, NY 91 serves the village of Fabius and the hamlet of Pompey, where it meets NY 80 and U.S. Route 20 (US 20), respectively.

NY 91 originally extended as far south as Cincinnatus and as far north as Bridgeport when it was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. The route was truncated to its current northern terminus at Jamesville in the late 1930s and cut back to its modern southern terminus at Truxton in 1981. Most of NY 91's former routing northeast of Syracuse became NY 298 while the highway that NY 91 followed from Cincinnatus to Truxton is now maintained by Cortland County as County Route 600 (CR 600) and County Route 600A.

Route description

NY 91 begins in northeast Cortland County at an intersection with NY 13 in Truxton. It proceeds north alongside Labrador Creek into Onondaga County, where it passes by Labrador Pond at the county line. While the creek ends at the pond, NY 91 continues north through the town of Fabius to an intersection with NY 80 in the hamlet of Apulia. Here, NY 91 turns east and joins NY 80 for roughly 3 miles (5 km) to the village of Fabius before splitting from NY 80 and continuing northward. Shortly after entering Pompey, NY 91 breaks from its north–south routing and makes a sharp turn to the west onto an extension of Chase Road. At Jerome Corners, the route curves back to the north and proceeds to the community of Pompey, where it intersects US 20.[3]

As NY 91 exits Pompey, it passes near both the Pompey Golf Club the Jamesville Beach and Country Club before passing alongside the eastern edge of the Jamesville Reservoir in the northeastern corner of LaFayette. Past the reservoir, NY 91 enters DeWitt and parallels the Butternut Creek to the hamlet of Jamesville, where the route ends at an intersection with NY 173.[4]

History

When NY 91 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York,[1] it was substantially longer than it is today. NY 91 originally began at NY 26 in Cincinnatus and followed Taylor Valley Road and Cheningo Road through the Truxton hamlet of Cheningo to the hamlet of Truxton, where it joined its modern alignment and proceeded north to Jamesville. From there, the route continued north past Jamesville to NY 31 in Bridgeport by way of overlaps with NY 173 and US 11 through downtown Syracuse and what is now NY 298 from Syracuse to Bridgeport.[5] NY 91 was truncated southward to the intersection of US 11 and NY 173 west of Jamesville ca. 1934[6][7] and eastward to its current northern terminus at Jamesville at some point between 1935 and 1938.[8][9]

In the late 1930s, the route was truncated northward to begin in Cheningo.[10][11] The former route to Cincinnatus on Taylor Valley Road was designated as CR 600 by 1974.[12] NY 91 was truncated again on April 1, 1981, when ownership and maintenance of the portion of the route south of NY 13 in the hamlet of Truxton was transferred to Cortland County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the county and the state of New York.[13] While NY 91 was cut back to the eastern terminus of its then-overlap with NY 13,[14][15] the former routing of NY 91 south of Truxton to Cheningo on Cheningo Road was redesignated as CR 600A.[16]
